Use & Care

Receiving Instructions

The lobster Newburg ships frozen with dry ice. Please take care not to touch the dry ice with bare hands.Refrigerate or freeze upon receipt. The lobster Newburg keeps up to 4 days refrigerated or up to 3 months frozen.

Cooking Instructions

8 frozen sheets of puff pastry

1 egg beaten with 1 tsp. water

1 container lobster Newburg, thawed overnight in the refrigerator

Preheat an oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Generously prick the tops of the frozen puff pastry with the tines of a fork or toothpick. Brush the tops with the egg mixture. Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart. Bake until the pastries have puffed up, are golden on the tops and bottoms, and are firm along the sides, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Using a sharp paring knife, cut out the inside round of each pastry; reserve both pieces.

Put the thawed lobster Newburg in a saucepan, set over medium heat and cook, stirring, until warmed through, about 15 minutes. Set the puff pastry rims on a plate and spoon the lobster Newburg into the pastry shells. Cover each with an inside round. Serve immediately.

Tasting Notes

We think Lobster Newburg should be truly luxurious—and this one is. The rich, creamy sauce is chock-full of succulent Maine lobster chunks—more than a whole lobster in each quart. The other all-natural ingredients are equally impressive, from heavy cream and homemade lobster stock to fine sherry. For the ultimate presentation, we’ve included prize-winning all-butter puff pastry shells.
